Because when we look at the world around us, and all the troubles going on, we might just find that having our own happiness makes us feel guilty. It is one of the most ludicrous things I can possibly imagine. Why? Because just about everything we are doing with our lives is to find things that

Your feelings will try to take you one way, while your thoughts attempt to take you another. Oddly, despite these both coming from you, they can make you feel as if you are an outside observer. When you can reach that place, and be the detached, outside observer, you can best determine how to synchronize

However, getting the head (thought) and the heart (feeling) aligned can be challenging. One way to get the head and heart in sync is to be more mindful. Mindfulness, or awareness, can take us to all kinds of incredible places. This is not awareness of the outside world…it is awareness of ourselves. It is a matter of

You and I, however, have the power to change it for the better. Yes, I know that this feels like a stretch, but it is still the truth. I am well aware that many terrible things are happening. Aware doesn’t even begin to cover it. Spend a minute scrolling through Facebook or Twitter or

Yes, there is some pretty awful stuff happening in the world around us. Terrible people are doing terrible things; threatening to take away rights; disempowering and disenfranchising all for their own interests; shredding the very fabric of our society. It feels terrible, it is scary and unpleasant and infuriating,
Savor the moment. Be grateful, and excited, and enjoy it, here and now. As you are reading this my annual vacation is drawing to an end. I have been enjoying a week of rest and relaxation with friends and chosen family, unwinding and de-stressing. Fun, good company, and an opportunity to hit the reset button. Rather than become bummed out that my vacation is over, though, I am going to savor the moment. From there, I am going to take
Embracing change, rather than resisting it, serves us best. Nobody denies that change is scary. Humans seek comfort, be it in our homes, relationships, clothing, foods we consume, and so forth. There is a certain level of comfort in the familiar. As such, when that which we are used to changes, it can be extremely disconcerting. Like it or not, change will occur. That is the nature of the universe. Change is a constant. Embracing change, therefore, will smooth any
There is more than enough for everyone. We live in an abundant universe. There are more than enough resources, opportunities, companions, friends and lovers for everyone. Material or immaterial, there is more than enough. Money, cars, homes, food, clothing, joy, love, essentials and non-essentials, there is more than enough. The biggest lie we are fed by those enjoying the illusion of being in power is that we do not have enough. They use fear of a lack, scarcity, and an
What is my motivation? This is not just a question an actor asks of their director…it is a question about life. What is it that motivates me to do the things I do? I am a writer and editor. Writing is a craft I have been working on since I was nine years old, and truly focused on for about twenty years now. My first editor taught me a tremendous amount about not just editing, but writing to its core,
